Wakatime layer

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/ed8d1ffef04e9492ea69ea6190afefa3a281329b/layers/+tools/wakatime/img/wakatime.png

Description

This layer adds support for Wakatime.

WakaTime was built to solve time tracking for programmers. Since we work inside a text editor, why should we have to start and stop a timer? WakaTime uses open-source text editor plugins to automatically track the time you spend programming so you never have to manually track it again!

P.S. wakati means time in Swahili

Install

Wakatime Program

You can follow wakatime installation instructions here https://github.com/wakatime/wakatime-mode.

In short it's just:

pip install wakatime

And for some linux users

sudo pip install wakatime

Layer

To use this contribution add it to your ~/.spacemacs

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
                '((wakatime :variables
                            wakatime-api-key    "your-api-key"
                            ;; use the actual wakatime path
                            wakatime-cli-path   "/usr/bin/wakatime")))

API Keys

After this go to your wakatime account and have your API key handy https://wakatime.com/settings/account?apikey=true .

Restart emacs and it will prompt you for the location of the wakatime installer (just put in whatever which wakatime gives you in the terminal e.g. /usr/bin/wakatime for example) and that's it.

Note to venv-workon users:

Right now wakatime uses python as python bin executable, so if you use venv-workon because you have python projects which need to have a virtual env., then wakatime, which is installed system-wide will have trouble locating wakatime files, so it's best to define by yourself the python path where wakatime can always find it's stuff, via this variable:

(setq wakatime-python-bin "/path/to/python")
